Always nice to see an org with poor, corrupt leadership make itself even more paralyzed with dictatorial purges..

they gave up 5 in that inning, but came back with 5 of their own the next inning and 2 more in the 7th to win the game. So Madden's back to being a genius I guess.

yeah - I think I even used to know that.....Seems now that you mention it I remember making a post about murder rates in the past after I had run down some numbers and the argument was that they tracked the highest poverty census tracts, but IIRC at the time the context was not red/blue or state vs state but just was that murder rates in some cities weren't really better or worse than others because of some unknown variables, but just because some cities had a higher proportion of poor census tracts, where murder always averaged something like 40/100K, while in non poverty areas it always tends to be 1-3/100K.

LOL. the Yankee relief saga continues. Boone put Chapman in in the 11th and Aroldis issues the walk-off walk with the baseas loaded.

Joe Maddon starting to suffer from Smartest Guy in the Room Syndrome?

Johnny Kane been in the sauce or what?

Always amazed to see how high Alomar on some of these counts.

he fooled one, that was enough.

I don't think Fulmer is fooling anyone tonight.

That is why Joe keeps getting chances - because when it works, he has a pure swing and miss fastball.

Let me guess - Homicide actually tracks a state's educational attainment level, and the blue state have better schools?

yes. Akil is serviceable going left right in, asking him to go back is a bridge too far. He may have better speed than Victor but we've seen Victor show more ability go back and that needs to be the determinant for CF at CoPa, or Kaufman

I wonder if a young player can maybe have too much success in ST and end up unready for pitchers who are playing for keeps.

Tork, Reyes and Cabrera have the three hardest hit balls of the game for either team.

My Lord he hit that a long way.

And Baddoo pops out on the 1st pitch. NOT GOOD

Candelario's glove may have showed up tonight, but his bat didn't. Miguel tries to light the fire.

Skubal goes right to Grossman "Man, you need to get back into the OF"

Last time I was at CoPa last season they did some.

Baddoo simply cant go back well enough to play CF in Det or KC. Maybe somewhere else...

No, Hinch is going to leave him in until he gives up more runs. He's turning into Brad Ausmus OK - over reaction, but this game sucks.

Another defensive fail. Hinch is going to have to re-evaluate. Hill did start at Lakeland tonight. Also wish Jack would stop blaming Barnhart for Henandez' imcompetence.

The baseball gods must be PO'd with the Tigers big time. When Carlos Santana is making defensive plays against you, you are truly cursed.

WM: Parker Meadows 2/5 with a double Lakeland: Faedo 3 2/3IP, 4H, 3ER, 1BB 5K. Derek Hill with the start in CF Toledo: Brieske 4IP, 2H 0ER, 4K, BB

And Candy makes the tough play to his right to get out of the inning. How about that?
